Bongo Beat Launches Digital Music Store in Second Life
Making their entire catalog available for purchase from inside Second Life, Bongo Beat Records has become the first record label to sell music in the popular virtual world created by Linden Lab. Bongo Beat worked with a team from TransStellar, Inc. to create the store and assist with bringing the label's artists into the virtual environment.

To visit the Bongo Beat music store, become a member of Second Life for free and visit us on Aroha Island, where we also feature live artist performances!

For 2019, Bongo Beat celebrates 24 years of operation as a label dedicated to great music, new sounds and new visions - curated under the ever eclectic eye of label founder Ralph Alfonso, who originally started Bongo Beat to showcase his jazz/garage rock combo. An industry veteran (Warner, EMI, Attic, Nettwerk) as well as a performer / photographer / writer / designer, Ralph encourages his artists to set higher standards - reflected in both the music and distinctive packaging. Kevin Komoda (DJ / performer / engineer / producer / etc) is Bongo Beat Montreal, working national promo, retail, and tour press and capitalizing on our label's remarkable success in Quebec (Ralph is originally from Montreal also). Internationally, Bongo Beat is distributed in CANADA by Outside Music, USA by Burnside, UK by Proper Music Distribution, GERMANY by New Music Distribution, and more to follow. All Bongo Beat releases are available on iTunes, CDBaby, and Amazon.com worldwide. Please note that Burnside and Sonic Rendezvous carry select titles for export (please check their web sites or contact the sales dept for a list).

Bongo Beat releases are available digitally at iTunes, eMusic, MSN, Rhapsody, Napster, and many many other services.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND DEMOS OR SUBMISSIONS. Please study our roster and our philosophies (read Ralph's interviews in the Links section) and email us first (yes, we have signed a lot of artists strictly via email).
